1993年美院毕业时,老师问：“毕业后想做什么?”我说：“当老师,画画。”一晃十多年过去了,我又问我的学生：“毕业后想做什么?”“……”其实,回答很容易,至于做什么事情并不重要,重要的是明白自己该做什么,适合做什么,这是最重要的。翻开艺术手册,第一句话“你是艺术家吗?”小时候背着画夹画画,习惯大人们称呼“小画家”。那时我会满足地点点头。慢慢的,喜欢人们称“艺术家”,更喜欢称“当代艺术家”。 When I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in 1993, the teacher asked, “What do I want to do after graduation?” I said, “When the teacher draws.” After a dozen of years passed, I asked my students again: “What do you want to do after graduation?” “......” In fact, the answer is easy, as to what to do is not important, it is important to understand what to do and what to do, which is the most important. Open the art handbook, the first sentence “Are you an artist?” At that time I will nod. Slowly, like people called “artists”, preferring to call “contemporary artists.”
